Diagnosis information
Core diagnostic criteria, specifiers, differential considerations, and documentation support in one open, scan-friendly view.
All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Failure to meet expected developmental milestones in several areas of intellectual functioning; applies to individuals <5 years when severity cannot be reliably assessed
Core criterion B
Reserved for individuals who are unable to undergo systematic assessments; requires reassessment after a period of time
Consistent with [Global Developmental Delay] [specifier(s)]. Since the early developmental period, there have been delays across multiple developmental domains; delayed acquisition of motor skills; delayed language development; delayed social-emotional skills; delayed cognitive and problem-solving abilities; delayed adaptive functioning, forming a pattern where developmental milestones are not met at expected ages. The presentation is further characterised by deficits identified through clinical observation and developmental assessment, consistent with a broad delay across cognitive and adaptive areas. These symptoms have resulted in significant functional impairment in early learning, communication, and daily activities, and the developmental pattern is not better explained by a specific neurodevelopmental disorder, sensory impairment, motor disorder, environmental deprivation, medical illness, or the effects of substances.
